I was one of the lucky college students who was hired to work a 40-hour week in Manhattan this summer. Each morning I would wake up, throw on my meticulously ironed business-casual wear and ride the subway with hundreds of sweaty people shoved into every car - all to sit in front of a computer from 9:30 a.

Rockville will have to wait its turn
I know I do not speak for the Board of Regents or other people in the administration of the university, but I'd like to respond to Dan Reed's Oct. 1 column, "Housing: Why Rockville should reign." It is always nice to see someone else interested in the naming of buildings on our wonderful campus.

It isn't every election year that you get the opportunity to vote for someone truly qualified for public office. Thankfully, our generation has been fortunate enough to be blessed with three consecutive elections offering someone ready to take on the challenge of leading our great nation.

Sarah Palin's vice-presidential bid has brought a confusing maelstrom of criticism and fervent support from women across the country. The debate over Palin's qualifications, political views and personal life reflect deep-set and bitter social issues that characterize gender relations today.

Although many facets of the administration here at Howard are flawed, there are hardworking people that are dedicated to ensuring that students are in good standing academically and financially.

Last week I took a break from my liberal arts education to spend an afternoon with a bunch of middle-aged white men-all of them Republicans.
Normally I wouldn't go out of my way to hang out with these people, but my mother invited me to observe them. I love my mother, so I couldn't turn down the invitation.

Who is Joe Six-pack? It's a question I've been mulling over ever since the term came up in last week's vice presidential debate. It's pretty clear what image the phrase is supposed to conjure up in the American psyche: He's the average Joe, the hard-working member of the middle class who kicks back after a long day of work with a beer.

Imagine it is 10:00 p.m. and you have four hours of reading to do, a test at 8:30 the next morning, and your mom keeps calling your phone because she wants you to call your grandmother and wish her a happy birthday. Instead, you are headed out on your first set of rounds for the evening.

Absentee Craigsfest
Congrats to all those who ended up being far too busy to go to Craigsfest over the weekend. Not only was money saved ($30 to be precise), but certainly those special few do not need to worry about the drunken pictures being uploaded to Facebook as you read this sentence.

Bailout plan version 2.0 passed in both the House and the Senate. But did we really need the bailout? What are the positives and negatives of this plan? And how much of the plan was revised for political means rather than practical and economic means?
Real free market economists would say, "No bailout plan is needed," and give the reason that what's happening to the financials is just a way of the market self-correcting.

It's 2 a.m. at a crowded house party. The musty smell of a 1970s' shag carpet soaked in cheap beer fills the air and the thumping of a bass shakes the ground ever so slightly. Standing in between a sticky beer pong table and a dance floor filled with squealing freshmen girls, you can spot him.

Earlier this year a, Packaged Facts report estimated that by the year 2012, African-American buying power will exceed $1.1 trillion. Currently, affluent African Americans are putting $892 million into the economy.
However, African Americans tend to purchase the latest fashions or other materialistic items as opposed to bargain shopping or investing.

Back in February, amidst the primary campaign season, I wrote an article for this newspaper in which I endorsed John McCain to be the Republican nominee. In that article, I wrote of how he had previously demonstrated his character by sticking to his guns when the polls had him down and how he was a thoughtful leader who occasionally rebuffed his own party.

A week ago, The Diamondback rightly gave a page-one banner headline to a story that was more important than the Terps' big victory over Clemson. The headline was "Police log two weekend crimes." The first of these crimes caught my attention. A female student was sexually assaulted sometime betweenand 2 a.

It is that time of year. Commercials for McCain and Obama are everywhere. Debates have started. If you haven't registered to vote yet, you are now out of luck.
People already formulated their opinions on the candidates and have mostly decided who they will vote for.

Harold Oblong had said he was "deafened by the silence" when he neither heard nor saw police sirens or lights behind him after negotiating a right turn on red at the intersection of Sawhorse Street and Fielding Creek Road near Reading, Pa. yesterday.

As my time here at AU begins to come to a close, I've found myself wondering if I have any regrets - anything that I wish I had done. My initial reaction was to revert to the safe answer - how could I have regrets? For three years, I've managed to be active throughout this campus, from raising school spirit to volunteering my time helping others.

I hate everything about the GW Bookstore. Walking into that place reminds me of going to the dentist, if my dentists were outrageously expensive and lacked all knowledge about my teeth.

And just what does AU offer to help keep students safe and confident? I do believe, for one, that there is a self-defense class. And there's the faded hotline numbers posted in the bathroom stalls: rape hotline, abuse hotline, counseling. And there are free condoms.

After Friday night's first Presidential debate, Democrats envisioned a clear victory for Barack Obama. Republicans envisioned a clear victory for John McCain. Ron Paul supporters were probably happy he wasn't invited to participate in the craziness of the first debate.

When the idea of screening potential employees by checking their online profiles surfaced, Facebook and Myspace users began to realize that pictures from last weekend's party might prohibit them from gaining employment.
However, there is a new reason that people performing background checks have for checking these sites: jury duty.
